A steamy fake relationship regency historical romance novella

De: P.S. Scott

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

An earl, a novelist, and a scandal that could ruin them both.

Miss Amelia Ashworth is no aristocrat. By day, she is Lilian Hartman, a middle-class silver fork novelist who pens glittering tales about high society to make ends meet. At night, she becomes the elusive Miss Amelia Ashworth— a spinster without a traceable lineage—attending balls for research purposes. For years, she has managed this double life, but when whispers of a hidden romance between her and the handsome Earl of Westmoore ignite the ton, Lilian finds herself at the center of a social storm she never intended.

At thirty-two, Richard Moreland, Earl of Westmoore is London’s most eligible bachelor. But what he longs for is a woman of substance, not the young misses so keen on thrusting themselves at him. When he hears of the rumors connecting him and Miss Ashworth, he comes face-to-face with Lilian. He was prepared for a schemer, but he was not prepared for the fiery and intelligent woman who hides more than she reveals. Intrigued by this mysterious woman with paste jewels and questionable dancing skills, he proposes a daring plan—they will pretend to be a couple this season, keeping the hounds of matchmaking at bay. In exchange, he’ll keep her real identity a secret.

Lilian is wary, but agrees, realizing it’s the only way to protect herself. But what begins as a convenient ruse soon turns into a passionate affair, weaving from London’s opulent ballrooms to dark alleys. Lilian finds herself falling for the charming Earl, who sees the woman underneath the deception.

But in a world bound by rules, reputation, and secret desires, can a silver-fork novelist and a reluctant earl rewrite their destinies—and find a love worth risking everything for?
